Air is associated with the mind, wisdom, spirits, and soul. They are known as the thinkers and the communicators of the zodiac. Individuals born with the sun in Aquarius (January 20 – February 18), Gemini (May 21 – June 20), or Libra (September 23 – October 22) are ruled by the element Air. 

All things mental define Air Signs. They are very curious and idealistic, tend to have interesting perspectives, like to analyze and solve problems, can see all sides of a situation, and like to settle things on an intellectual level. As the communicators, they can be very lively and social, wanting to talk and talk and share what they think. They also want things to be fair and just and prefer cooperation over conflict or competition.

In the same way that the wind flows freely and can go around any obstacle, Air Signs can be very flexible and find innovative ways around blocks. They need to feel free to move and change and are happiest in situations that give them freedom.

They can also blow hot and cold and move from one idea or project to another quickly, which can be refreshing when a breath of fresh air is needed to clear out stagnant energy. On the other hand, it can be disconcerting. If they don't stay grounded, they can quickly shift their thinking and get lost in all the ideas, like a leaf blowing in the wind.

If you are an air sign you may find it difficult to choose from all the information and ideas that come to you, or to bring your ideas from the clouds to the ground for practical use. In my meditation we will establish a grounded and centered state and connect with air energy through breath and visualization.

We will also work with intentions that support you to welcome and trust the ideas that come to you, tap into information beyond the usual sources (the Internet), and focus on intentions that honor your divine right to be exactly as you are: a wonderful and quirky, “airy” person taking practical steps to intentionally create the life you want to experience.

An intention is often considered a goal, but it is more than that. It is on-purpose and conscious and it carries with it the power of thought, and that power accumulates every time you think a certain thought. Repeated thoughts become beliefs and beliefs guide everything you do. Affirming intentions in a meditative state helps you to gain clarity about what your intentions really are and it gives power to those that you consciously choose.

In this guided meditation we will work with the idea of bringing purpose and conscious awareness to our thoughts and beliefs, and choosing those that support us to create an amazing journey in the New Year.
